Poly people aren’t more enlightened so feel free to take the advice that applies and leave the rest

When you seek advice about your relationship from strangers in a public forum, it’s important to understand that some of the strangers giving you advice could be harboring the same traits that you’re contending with.

There’s people in this forum who are unclear in their wants and expectations from a relationship and they’re going to advise you to have a lot of patience for that.

There’s people who explain their points of view using jargon but stumble when asked what the jargon clearly means, and they’re gonna advise you stuff like “welp, you said you’re not anchor partners so you shouldn’t expect x y or z.”

There’s people in this forum who withhold information as an act of dishonesty and don’t know the difference between that and privacy, and they’re going to advise you to ignore your gut because you aren’t entitled to some information that you’ve asked for.

There are know-it-alls on this forum who are jumping at the bit to look really woke and they are going to give you terrible sexual health advice for the opportunity to posture their progressive.

There are people in here who are like the people you’ve come to receive insight about, and they aren’t necessarily gonna give you great advice because they empathize with the person who you’ve come here to understand more. They may give you great insight into how that person is thinking. They can also encourage you to enable stuff that drives you crazy.

Keep that in mind and don’t be afraid to neglect advice that isn’t good for you, even if the top ten comments are all saying the same thing. Understand that those ten people may be the kind of people who jumped to answer the question before seeing what insight was already in the comments, and consider if you’d even take advice from the kind of person who’d make a whole new comment adding nothing to the convo instead of just upvoting the person who they agree with and commenting under their stuff.

Listen to your gut (not your genitals or your brain or your heart) when you read these comments. You know what’s right for you.

It’s hard enough for me to hear that somebody is still in contact with their narc parent, but it genuinely makes my shoulders tense when someone describes their parent’s awful behavior and then mentions their babies/kids being exposed to that narc parent in the same post. I am pretty sure that’s some childhood trauma being triggered, but narcs are ***abusive***. They aren’t just assholes. They’re actively dangerous to have children around. It’s really frustrating to see.

Maybe there’s something I’m not considering, perhaps there’s a really good reason why these folks are volunteering to bring not only themselves but also their child around a narc!!!!! But jfc it gives me the heebie jeebies and tbh I wish more of us would consider it part of family planning to go very low or no contact with all of the narcs in our lives. The baby didn’t ask to be here, they didn’t ask to be exposed to their manipulative grandparent, they have no control over that and it’s not fair. Someone in the comments will be like “you’re a great parent” and I grimace because like… that sounds like a really mediocre parenting decision to me.

It’s time for us to stop giving any man free press and turn that into getting Megan more money so she can transmute this betrayal into her own success and hopefully more art for us.

That being said, as a hot girl myself I am no stranger to dating men who like the way I make them look much more than they like me. I’m an Aquarius and a Lover Girl just like Meg, and there’s a couple things I wanna get off my chest.

  1. Being cheated on is embarrassing for the cheater. Tbh people are telling on themselves and projecting hard when they wish for Megan to be embarrassed. She’s rich, successful, talented, and hot with and without a partner. And that’s why some of her haters want her to feel ashamed because they feel inadequate compared to her. They’re just *looking* for something, anything to put her down for, because they don’t know how to gas themselves up so their tactic is to drag people down instead. Fuck those crabs in a barrel ass witches and if I just described you? Stop whining and BE BETTER. Leave people alone.
  2. Megan’s brand was never tied to any man. I feel like it’s the secret haters saying this shi. Megan Thee Stallion has been, is currently, and will always be poppin all by herself. The male-centered followers who attached her brand to a man need therapy and a clue. And the secret haters who want her to be nothing without a man need to get some hobbies.
  3. People cheat because they feel like powerless losers. Period. Cheating empowers them. That’s it. It’s not because there’s something wrong with their victims. It’s because they could’ve journaled or gone on a retreat or seen a professional to feel accomplished and empowered—but decided to cheat instead. It doesn’t fucking work and they become more miserable. They’re pitiful. The people who cheat with partnered folks often *want to be* the partner of the person they’re cheating with. They want to know what the partner has that they don’t have. None of this is a flex.

Megan is smart so she is PROFITING off of this betrayal. And she will recover, go on to make more incredible art, live a lavish life and love again, fulfilled and with integrity. Basic witches want her to be embarrassed because *they want to be her*. Her ex is embodying a deteriorating spirit lmao, and the scary nameless wench who cheated with him is still miserable. I need the next mf who fixes their mouth to say Megan’s brand is tied to a man to go work out their patriarchy/daddy issues off the internet. Okay, rant over.
